The Failure of Tech Journalism (NetSlaves) -- "Well, for a single mom with two kids, pretty is not on the agenda. It could look like it escaped from the mind of R.L. Stine if it worked. Cheap and functional are the things which should count here, not pretty and cool. Besides, what are we, 16 year olds? Cool is for people with nearly unlimited disposable incomes. Elton John gets cool, the rest of us need functional. So many reviews are baffled and bullshitted by design issues over function."
